Rydges Rotorua

Very comfortable bed. Spa and pool nice and warm. Buffet breakfast was good

The room was clean and comfortable and this hotel had the most comfortable pillows and bed of any hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff were attentive and friendly and went the extra mile to help me as I had an injured knee - they listened to me and delivered and helped me with an error I had made. Happy with coffee machine in my room and that in the bar. The pool, while great for supervised children and was heated (which I did not like personally) was very clean. Rydges limits the number of sunbeds and chairs by the pool to keep the area uncrowded but usable, which is very clever. Laundry facilities were great for us travellers who have been exploring for weeks. Great location - right next to Whakarewarewa - I had an excellent view of this thermal park from my balcony. Loved it. Also, they had a water machine that you could refill your water bottles for free- so no having to keep buying more. Saves us money and the use of less plastic which harms the environment. Could not recommend this hotel enough.

Our room had a great view although I did have to pay extra for the upgrade. Our first room had a view of the roof which I did not think was good particularly as I had paid for four nights which already was quite alot. The Newly refurbished room was perfect. we liked everything about our room. Pillows and beds were very comfortable. Lovely lights. The black out curtain was great. Places to put your luggage. Gowns and slippers a nice touch. Having a safe and coffee making facility and a fridge was ideal. I liked the green idea but I kept forgetting to put up my green sign. Perhaps it could be the other way around- have a sign put up only if you want new towels etc. Great pool area and clean towels for swimming. My son liked using the gym

Blackout curtains in the room was great! Breakfast Buffet was very nice. Room spacious.. lovely scenic view with comfy chair to look out from room. Shower pressure was good. Aircon was good kept us cool.

Our stay at Rydges Hotel was quite enjoyable. The room was fully equipped with thoughtful amenities, such as plenty of electrical sockets and convenient bedside lights, which made our stay smooth and hassle-free. The attention to detail in the room’s setup greatly enhanced our comfort. Additionally, the receptionist was exceptional - she was welcoming, helpful and professional, which added a personal touch to our experience.
